The Foundation of Every Great Landscape Starts with Soil
Soil quality is the single most important factor in plant health, lawn establishment, and long-term landscape performance.
Whether you are grading a new lot, amending existing beds, laying sod, or establishing a vegetable garden, the right soil product makes everything else work better.
Sand products serve equally critical functions in masonry work, drainage installations, and base preparation for hardscape projects.

How to Choose The Right Soil or Sand
The best product for your project depends on what you are building, growing, or fixing. A few general guidelines:
- Lawn establishment and sod: use topsoil or blended planting mix
- Raised bed gardens: use garden soil or compost-amended blends
- Grading and fill: use commercial topsoil or fill sand
- Masonry and mortar: use mason sand
- Hardscape base preparation: use concrete sand or compactable base material
- Soil amendment and bed improvement: use compost

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the difference between commercial topsoil and garden soil?
A: Commercial topsoil is a heavier, denser soil best used for grading, filling, and establishing grade. Garden soil and planting mixes are blended with organic matter to support plant health and are the better choice for raised beds, planting areas, and lawn establishment. Our team helps customers choose the right product based on their specific project.
Q: How much topsoil do I need to lay sod?
A: Most sod installations require four to six inches of quality topsoil for healthy root establishment. To calculate your quantity, measure the square footage of the area, multiply by your desired depth in feet, and divide by 27 to convert to cubic yards. Our material calculator or our team can walk you through this.
Q: Can I mix compost with existing lawn soil to improve my yard?
A: Yes. Topdressing a lawn with compost is one of the most effective ways to improve soil quality, drainage, and turf health over time. A thin layer spread evenly across the lawn and worked in with a rake or light rain provides long-term benefits. We sell compost by the yard for easy bulk ordering.
Q: What is mason sand used for?
A: Mason sand is a finely screened, clean sand used primarily for mortar mixing, brick laying, and masonry projects. It is also popular for sand boxes, beach areas, and paver leveling applications. Concrete sand is a coarser option more suitable for concrete mixing and base layers.
Q: Do you deliver soil and sand to job sites?
A: Yes. We deliver all soil and sand products to residential properties and commercial job sites throughout Southeast Michigan. Same-day and next-day options are available. Call (734) 422-5000 to schedule a delivery.
